Livin' the Dream

Have we heard enough of the phrase “Living the Dream” or “Livin’ the Dream” yet? People still use it. “How ya doing, Mark?” “Livin’ the dream, man. Livin’ the dream”, Mark says. Well, what exactly does that expression mean? And is it an acceptable response? Regardless of what it means, it is so incredibly overused that it’s an insult to use it. The person asking the question may (surprise!) be actually concerned about Mark’s well being. By responding “Living the dream, man”, Mark is basically blowing off the question, and not giving an honest response to an honest question.

The exception to this, I suppose, would be our psychic friends, who may actually have seen their future (or yours!) in their dreams. So, yeah, we’ll make an exception for that people group.
